Brock Lesnar Calls Vince McMahon a “Father Figure,” Details How WWE Prepared Him to Do Business With Dana White

The combat-sports business has quite a few tycoons, but two names that stand out are Dana White and Vince McMahon. A handful have worked with both of them, and one example is Brock Lesnar.

Now, Lesnar had two different experiences with the two men. While one for them was strictly business, another had a more fatherly feel to it. However, Lesnar’s age when he met both men plays a role in how the experience was.

During a conversation with Pat McAfee on his show, The Beast revealed how it was working with McMahon and White.

“I really can’t compare the two guys [Dana White & Vince McMahon]. Honestly, my relationship with Vince is so different from that it is with Dana. Over the years, Vince and I have had a love-hate relationship for the last twenty years. But, it’s been good. We got a lot of water under the bridge. I have a lot of respect for both men. But, dealing with Dana, it’s just totally different. I met Vince when I was younger. I look at Vince more as a father figure because I’ve learnt a lot of things from him. I was able to carry those things over and handle business with Dana.” H/t Pat McAfee Show 2.0

In fact, Brock Lesnar revealed that he made money out of Dana White, but the UFC President made more out of him. So, maybe White should have paid him some more! On the other hand, Lesnar is one of the highest paid WWE Superstars.

WWE continues to push Brock Lesnar even when he’s a Megastar

It seems like Vince McMahon, and WWE cannot get enough of Lesnar’s success. Even when he has established himself as a true champion of the sport, the company continues to push him to the top.

For example, Big E was having a great championship run but because Reigns pulled out of Day 1, Lesnar was put in the Fatal 5-Way match. He defeated Big E to become the WWE Champion!

Now, when he lost the title to Bobby Lashley at Royal Rumble 2022, WWE had him enter the men’s match as #30, and secure the victory. Brock Lesnar chose to challenge Roman Reigns for WrestleMania 38.

While it is always exhilarating to witness Brock Lesnar execute F5s on his rivals, the WWE Universe wants fresh faces as champions. It’s been a while since WWE has given the fans a new champion!
